Hello
it is doable to make the cuts, but at the moment Rhino/Grasshopper are not very good at that.
Here a solution using Dendro. There are many ways with Dendro to make smooth nodes/sponge.
See here for others sponge related geometry
I want to create an object with a sponge/bubble-like porous structure on the outside. It should be a solid.
What could be an elegant solution?
I’m a newbie to Grasshopper. What I tried so far:
Created a sphere and linked it into Grasshopper: Brep
Created random points in the bounding box of the sphere: Pop3D
From the random points, created a 3D Voronoi diagram: Voronoi³
What happens here is that around each point, a cell is constructed. The surfaces of neighboring cells coincide.
I…
And if you want some nice rounding on intersection you could use Polyline smoothing

Here some of my first test of Dendro plugin.
To my point of view this plugin brings the power of OpenVdB in Rhino/Grasshopper. It will certainly be very useful for jewelry, dental, lattices … and all mesh related projects.
A ring done with my ring generator, similar to Nervous Cell Cycle. I just spend less than 1 hour to do that. Dendro took 6 seconds !! It is fast, very fast. Wahou thanks @ryein
